Welcome to a true piece of Manhattan Beach history — the oldest home on The Strand, built in 1922 and lovingly restored to feel timeless. Impeccably maintained, this charming one-bedroom beach cottage blends classic craftsmanship with coastal lifestyle, featuring original details like the vintage ice box and antique stove, soaring living room ceilings with exposed beams, and a cozy hideout loft. Sitting proudly on one of the most elevated and sought-after lots on The Strand, this property offers sweeping ocean views that stretch from Malibu to the iconic Manhattan Beach Pier — with the added bonus of being just a few short blocks from the vibrant downtown district, filled with award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, and beloved coffee spots. With a private garage, a sunlit eat-in kitchen nook, and the kind of authentic, turn-of-the-century character that simply can't be replicated, this home sweeps you away to another era. Whether you choose to enjoy it exactly as it is or dream up your future beachfront masterpiece, the location alone makes this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even more exciting? The adjacent property to the north is also available — offering a rare chance to own two side-by-side Strand homes. Buyers are encouraged to check with the City of Manhattan Beach regarding potential uses; if approved, this could represent one of the most extraordinary double-lot opportunities the Strand has seen in decades. At this price, in this location, opportunities like this don't just come along — they define legacy ownership on The Strand.
